| Propshaft to reardiff bolts ~ Loctite ? Hi The four bolts securing the propshaft to the Jag diff keeps getting loose. I have used new lockwashers but no Loctite. Are you using Loctite for these bolts ? I do not know how much torque i have used as my torque wrench are to large for the space at the diff. Thanks Claus A Denmark      |

| Don't use any washers but do use lock nuts. The ones on my diff are a metal locking type nut. Not he ones with the nylon insert. I guess these have a proper name but I'm not sure what it is. The nuts on the driveshafs from the diff to the wheels on the jag are the same type. I just do them up very tight with normal length ring or open ended spanner if thats all you can fit in there. Haven't had any come loose yet.... Craig.

| Also drill through the bolts and use lock wire so they can't come off completely.

| you MUST use the genuine Jaguar nuts and bolts for this application. They are a "Non-Preferred" diameter and ordinary nuts and bolts will run the risk of slackening off. If you don't want a propshaft failing and flying through the floor adjacent to your left buttock, use the Jag bolts. I know they are expensive, but worth it!

| Good point Clive. The correct bolts have an un-threaded section that fills the holes in the diff flange and the prop shaft. I was supplied ordinary bolts with my prop shaft but I used bolts supplied by Wards. Jag is the place to get them from or one of the specialist jag dealers like Ward engineering, SNG Barrett Etc. Craig.

| The correct bolts and nuts are not that expensive from a Jag Main Dealer  0.83p and 0.35p respectively when I bought mine

| Thank You all for Your replies. The bolts seems to be the original but the nuts are not. I'll buy new ones. Claus A |
